I needed a replacement for my tiring Kenwood Chef, and this looked to fit the bill, and for a great price. First impressions on unboxing were promising. It looked good, it felt sturdy. It’s also the opposite way around to most mixers, and that will take a bit of getting used to, despite being left handed myself, because for years I’ve been using my Chef. First test was an all in one traybake mix. The machine is fairly quiet in use, that’s good. Lifting the mixer head is easy, it’s quite heavy but I didn’t find it a problem. The bowl is plenty big enough. The tools fit easily and well. The slide control feels a bit different, but slides okay. I found the splash cover and chute a bit fiddly, but I’ll get used to it. It handled the mix really well. I didn’t need to give it a quick stir with a spoon to get rid of any lingering flour, or that unmixed bit that always seems to be in the bottom. The handle on the bowl is really useful. Second test was a bread dough. Enough to make a 2lb loaf. This machine handled it very well, the dough didn’t creep up the hook and hang there like some cocoon. It moved freely about the bowl, I felt like it had had a really good kneading. And there was none of this machine “walking about” as it pummelled the dough, it remained in its place. The bread certainly proved and then baked well. Last test for me was meringue and then cream for a pavlova. The chute is great for sliding the sugar in slowly, the egg whites were whipped effortlessly. The machine has some kind of sensor and you can hear it changing through its “gears”, adjusting to the mixture. The cream whipped up really well. All in all it’s a lovely addition to my kitchen. I feared it wouldn’t match my Chef, but it has, in fact, I like it better. I’ve given it 5 stars because for me it’s just perfect.Read full review
